While I can understand the hate, I just love Omen, it's catchy, has great beats, great synths, and Keith and Maxim's vocals. When I saw it live it was possibly the best track, it works brilliantly and has real energy, gets the crowd pumping. Maybe some hardcore fans don't like it because a lot of casuals like it, I don't know? I think I'm quite a hardcore Prodigy fan myself, and I love it. The track really is Prodigy to me, it has so many Prodigy elements in one package. My favourite version is the Extended Mix, but all versions are good IMO...

Omen isn't a classic like any of the others are, it never did anything new. It's a catchy Prodigy track that put them back on the map.

But let's not turn this into a discussion about that? The songs that are on the list are the topic of discussion. SMBU and EITP is a hard one for me personally, I love them both. But I'd have to go with SMBU here, the way the samples are used is genius, that drop, the absolute rave your tits off sections, lyrics any fucker can belt out AND that amazing break down. It's a fucking masterpiece...

im shocked your love is in it tbh.. did it make it high in the charts back then? i agree it's a big tune, but seriously you'd think radio 1 would rather take their commercial songs

Bit of a strange one innit? Not exactly a fan favourite either to be honest.
